In this post, I would like speak about the popular festivals in Galician.
In Galician, popular festivals are seeing as one of the moments in the year when the families meet. In this festivals people eat, dance and drink a lot.
This festivals are more important as smaller the village is and the importance can be viewed in terms of the price of the orchestras that participates in the event. For example, the most popular and expensive groups are Paris de Noia, Olympus or Panorama.
The principal festive day of the year (usually the 15th of August), the orchestras are in high demand and their prizes are higher than other dates. For this festivals, the villages are scrambling each other to hire their services.
A very typical element in popular festivals is the action of a bagpiper. The Galician pipes are very popular in Galician and they usually are presents in our festivals. The old people likes a lot because the sound of a Galician pipe helps them to remember the past years.
The past paragraphs summarize the characteristics of Galician festivals.
I hope you like it.
